Edinburgh Castle is historically the principal royal fortress of Scotland since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century. Mary Queen of Scots gave birth to James VI, King of Scotland on 19 June 1566 at the castle. In 1603 James acceded to the throne of England unifying both Scotland and England under one monarch. The Honours of Scotland (Scotland's crown jewels) and the Stone of Destiny (the Coronation Stone) are kept at Edinburgh Castle. (5 years and 2904 days ago)
Brighton, East Sussex, England
Began being built in 1787 as a seaside retreat for George, the Prince of Wales (later George IV). It would later continue to be used as a royal retreat until about 1845 when Queen Victoria (who disliked Brighton's lack of privacy) had her last visit. It was later sold to the city of Brighton in 1850 for £53,000. (5 years and 2906 days ago)
